The terms "terror" and "purges" are closely associated with the history of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, though the concept of terror as a political instrument has earlier historical roots, particularly in the French Revolution. In the context of European history from 1789 to 1945, the Terror and the Purges refer mainly to Stalin's systematic use of violence, repression, and state machinery to eliminate real and imagined opponents, consolidate personal dictatorship, and reshape Soviet society. After Lenin's death in 1924, a fierce struggle for leadership emerged within the Communist Party. Stalin gradually defeated rivals such as Leon Trotsky, Grigory Zinoviev, Lev Kamenev, and Nikolai Bukharin. Once he secured power, Stalin sought to eliminate all possible challenges to his authority. The process intensified during the 1930s, particularly after the assassination of Sergei Kirov in 1934, an event that Stalin used as a justification for launching widespread repression.
